My daily aphorisms. Reflections on life, death, beauty, change, love, happiness, etc., written in a poetic and whimsical style.
So true! My dogs only bark at other dogs when they're behind a fence. What kills me is that humans act as if that's unnatural dog behavior...LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo true, and what a great parallel to life. Love it, Marty!
ReplyDeleteYes they do Marty, yes they do. But no matter how loudly they protest, it's a fleeting sound to the runner.
ReplyDeletevery true!
ReplyDeleteso true
ReplyDeletehowever, there is always envy of safety from the dog running free...
ReplyDeleteAwesome one,
ReplyDeleteIt is always the fenced in Dogs that seem the least happy.
That is an apt observation, NP.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how that happens. We notice that all the time, but never put it in such words that make sense on a grander scale.
ReplyDeleteI just read the last few aphorisms and I must say...I see me in all of them. Egocentric? No...just the truth. Thank you...I've missed my blogging friends :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a "grass always greener" type vibe, right?
ReplyDeleteOnly in this case, Dale, the grass really is greener on the other side.
DeletePeople everywhere just want to be free! (OK, that was from a song, but so true). Freedom without restriction is such an essential part of the human spirit!
ReplyDeleteyes !!
